So what does he want to be called? Just a rat? But - there are actual rats, which are already called rats. Unless those don’t exist in this universe, “ratman” seems like a pretty reasonable term. He has both rat and humanoid features.

I came here to post this. Glad to see it’s where it needs to be.

How is this unpopular? The company wouldn’t exist if people didn’t like eating there.

I wonder this same thing about my company. The only rational theory I’ve heard - which is completely unconfirmed - is that they aren’t willing to sell the building because it’s still needed for the IT team and a few other purposes, but need a certain occupancy level to not be penalized on their taxes.

“MothBookkeeper is the dictator of the world, and I completely trust his decisions.”

Nevermind the logistics of that; power lives where people believe it does.

Then I could make multiple beneficial changes, such as:

• Heavily taxing the rich
• Enacting drastic climate policy
• Banning paper stickers that rip as you try to take them off
• Sending Mitch McConnell on a rocket into the sun

I don’t know, man, it’s just like… the way that it is.

Well damn.

If only we did the same thing with voters.

Kidding, that wouldn’t work. But… sigh.

Sync for Lemmy has keyword filters. I set that up the second it was released.

Wait wait wait. Stop everything. I’ve found my post.

I too was like you. Every flimsy-ass can opener I had ever used couldn’t puncture cans consistently, would get off track, leave uncut sections, and just generally suck completely. I got so fed up replacing them that I went off the deep end researching these things.

My wife got impatient with me. She told me to come back to bed; that can openers weren’t this important. That didn’t stop me. I was going to put an end to the suck. I read review sites, I visited stores, I called people. After literal days of research, I made my decision.

A can opener doesn’t need to be complicated or decked out with fancy features. Fundamentally, the qualities you want are reliability, comfort, build quality, and leverage (i.e. a powerful mechanical advantage).

I didn’t buy the OXO. Not a side-cutter (don’t get me started). I bought the EZ-Duz-It can opener—an unassuming name for the most brilliant can opener ever built.

It’s inexpensive and durable. It securely latches onto cans and glides through them with ease. The knob spins smoothly with little effort. This thing is a dream. Never before have I experienced such a drastic shift in how I felt about a product.

There simply is no other answer.
